It seems like all this awesome learning is breaking the internet!
We are currently investigating video and audio file access limitations. As part of the remedy, we are in the process of moving all videos to YouTube. Note: On district devices, or when students are logged into a device using their EPS-Google account, only the YouTube videos we have allowed will be available (not YouTube as a whole). Thanks for your patience. We'll keep you posted!
